The UAE hopes that the coming Gulf Co-operation Council summit will succeed in enhancing the intra-Gulf dialogue.
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr Anwar Gargash said the UAE has confidence and optimism that Saudi Arabia is efficiently managing the Gulf crisis.
"From Riyadh, the capital city of the Gulf decision-making, we, God willing, are taking steps to enhance the intra-Gulf dialogue towards the future," Mr Gargash said on Twitter.
Kuwait announced last week that the six-member GCC will meet on January 5 in Saudi Arabia, which has expressed its willingness to resolve the dispute.
The bloc brings together the UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar.
Mr Gargash's statement came a day after he said there was a prevailing atmosphere in the region to solve the GCC crisis with possible talks on the cards to try to end the three-year rift between Qatar and its neighbours.
"The political and social atmosphere in the Gulf is looking to end the Qatar crisis and for the best method to guarantee Doha's commitment to any agreement that brings good for the region," he said on Twitter.
"But, Qatari media seems adamant on undermining any agreement."
He described this as "a strange and difficult phenomenon to explain".
This month, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said a resolution of the Gulf diplomatic crisis was in sight, with all governments involved "on board" and a final agreement expected soon.
Egypt and the UAE have since given their public support to the negotiations.

Some of Darwish's last words
"They see their tomorrows slipping out of their reach. And though it seems to them that everything outside this reality is heaven, yet they do not want to go to that heaven. They stay, because they are afflicted with hope." - Mahmoud Darwish, to attendees of the Palestine Festival of Literature, 2008
His life in brief: Born in a village near Galilee, he lived in exile for most of his life and started writing poetry after high school. He was arrested several times by Israel for what were deemed to be inciteful poems. Most of his work focused on the love and yearning for his homeland, and he was regarded the Palestinian poet of resistance. Over the course of his life, he published more than 30 poetry collections and books of prose, with his work translated into more than 20 languages. Many of his poems were set to music by Arab composers, most significantly Marcel Khalife. Darwish died on August 9, 2008 after undergoing heart surgery in the United States. He was later buried in Ramallah where a shrine was erected in his honour.
